Business Message Reject <j>

Gemini sends Business Message Reject <j> when the exchange receives a valid FIX message which cannot be processed.

Examples include:

  • receiving a market data request on an order entry channel, or vice versa

Gemini does not use Business Message Reject <j> to handle invalid New Order Single <D> messages. Rejected orders are handled with an Execution Report <8> message with an OrdStatus <39> field with a value of 8 - Rejected.
